I've seen similar things with messages sent with outlook.  I have a
very quick look, and it seems like there's smoe extra embedding in a
PKCS7 packet of some sort, and I didn't find a way to extract the
message that was apparently in there with openssl, at least in the
couple of minutes I had then.  Does that sound like what you found?
